Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC) is the nation’s largest maritime charity and the governing charity of the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC), a civilian voluntary youth organisation comprising some 400 or so volunteer Sea Cadet Units, throughout the UK.

The SCC offers a wide range of youth opportunities with the same enduring objective – to foster good citizenship in the community.

We are currently seeking a seasonal watch officer for TS Royalist, a 24 metre offshore sail training brig based in Gosport.

The vessel undertakes six day voyages for up to 24 Cadets at a time around the UK and near continent.

This appointment will commence on 1 February 2013 with an end date of 30 November 2013 and includes a generous pre-allocated leave allowance.

The prime purpose of the role will be the day to day supervision of Sea Cadets, particularly to assist the permanent crew with cadet safety aloft.

Applicants should either hold a current Seafarer Medical Certificate (ML5/ENG1), or be willing to obtain one and will ideally have prior knowledge of Square Rig vessels.

All applicants will be required to undergo an enhanced CRB check, if not already cleared through the MSSC.

Basic Safety Training Courses (unless already held) will be undertaken before the season commences.
